Sara's Creative Adventures: 2013

I am a summer because of my light skin, green eyes, dirty blond hair and a blue look to my skin (this is caused by your veins you can either have a blue look or a warm red look to your skin because of your veins and the proximity of them to your skin surface).

And Summers love the BRIGHT colors and they look their best wearing this color palette.

For instance I am a blusher meaning my skin especially on my face becomes flushed easily so I do not look my best wearing a primary red color close to my face. I am much better off in the complementary colors of

greens in the bright category.

Hence you will see me in LIME frequently, turquoise comes next and yes, I do wear bright reds;)

So my favorite Summer colors are the inspiration for my "Brights" Collection...

Bright Dots

*************************************************************************

For those that are new to the world of digital stamps I have a quick refresher for you.

How to use digi stamps with PSE10.

Open your donwnload stamp file.

This file comes as a jpg from Eureka Stamps that means it has a white background you will need to remove this background for my technique.

Click on the background eraser tool as shown below.

Click onto the white background you will see it be removed and the transparent layer appear.

I wanted to do something special with this image so I added a preloaded effect.

Color Target was my choice.

In your effects panel pick the Color Target Effect under the complex label and apply it to your digital stamp.

Now save your colored digital stamp as a png file to preserve the transparent background.

Below is my saved digital stamp in png form...

Below you can see that I have opened my save PNG digital stamp in my

Silhouette Cameo designer software.

Now I am ready to print and cut my bookmarks...

Here are two completed hybrid bookmarks.

The 3d star from Lori Whitlock is one of my fave cuts on the Silhouette;)
